Inside the Fort Bend Boxing Club, the lessons extend far beyond jabs and footwork.
"Boxing is a brutal sport, but it's a disciplined sport," Owner, Hector Perez Jr said.
The Rosenberg nonprofit has provided young people with an affordable place to learn the sport while emphasizing discipline, respect, and perseverance.
The Fort Bend Boxing Club was founded in 1964 by Hector's uncle Blas Perez. Blas was a fighter himself, playing the sport from the age of 12, before turning to coaching and building amateur champions.
"My uncle was a brawler. He fought to the end - he never gave up," Hector shared. "That's how life is with him right now. He's had quite a bit of strokes already, he's still fighting."
